<pre>Calc already offers different algorithms if the locale defines such, see for
example {de-DE} German (Germany) (or other German), "Alphanumeric" and "Phone
book".
The {nl-BE} Dutch (Belgium) locale does not define additional algorithms. I
currently don't know if there is a specific phonebook collation order offered
for nl-BE in ICU or if the general phonebook could be used.
Is that (ignoring spaces) a thing in the Netherlands as well?
Apart from that I doubt it's a general "ignore spaces" thing but depends on the
prefix "De" or "Van de" or such.
Natural Sort is a specific handling of numbers within text and not suited to
implement wild alternatives.</pre>
